Saturday night I posted about Newsweek's cover story on Barack Obama--and called the reporters on the carpet for not asking the senator about Tony Rezko.
The opening sentence of commenter F. Igwealor's reply was:
Rezko is old news.
AP doesn't think so. In an article discussing "nagging doubts and growing pains" about the presidential campaign, Beth Fouhy writes:
Obama's relationship with Chicago real estate mogul Antoin "Tony" Rezko continues to draw scrutiny, even as the candidate has sought to further distance himself from his longtime political consigliere. The Obama campaign has already shed about $37,000 in contributions connected to Rezko, who was indicted last year on charges he sought kickbacks from companies doing business with an Illinois state pension fund.
"Consigliere." Good word choice.
